Latest News about Babar Azam
Babar Azam withdrew from the National T20 Championship to focus on improving his batting technique ahead of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). This decision followed his recent exclusion from the ODI series against Bangladesh and a disappointing T20 World Cup campaign. He is expected to return to action for Peshawar Zalmi in PSL 11.
Babar Azam was dropped from Pakistan's 15-member ODI squad for the upcoming three-match series against Bangladesh, starting March 11, 2026. This decision came after his poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2026, where he managed only 91 runs across four innings and was benched for a crucial Super 8 match.
Following a disappointing T20 World Cup 2026 campaign where he scored only 91 runs in four innings, there have been calls for Babar Azam to retire from T20 International cricket. Former England captain Michael Vaughan suggested that Babar's batting style is not suited for the modern T20 game, which requires more aggressive hitters.
